Aims:
To find out how people feel about accents and languages across the British Isles.
Methodology:
A poll was conducted from 17th - 26th November by an online survey which received more than 5000 responses from people over the age of 15.
Findings and Analysis:
People from the same place as a celebrity preferred their accent, probably due to them sharing similar traits. Sean Connery was found to have the most pleasant accent in this poll, followed by the likes of Moira Stewart and Sir Trevor MacDonald. These people have very iconic and memorable accents, and often require being listened to very carefully. Therefore a lot of thought is put into their accent when they speak.
Conclusion:
Celebrities with iconic and similar accents and dialects are preferred.
Evaluation:
Celebrities in the public eye may alter their speech for various reasons and therefore we may be judging them one a voice that isn't really theirs.
A good summary but the methodology could be a little more detailed.
